I saw this show a few years ago and didn't really think much of it. I figured it was just another sketch comedy show trying to exploit what Kids in the Hall made funny 20 years ago (When gay jokes were still funny).
Recently I was house-sitting at a friend's home who had a crap ton of extra channels that I normally don't watch including IFC. So while doing some laundry I turned on IFC and they were running a The Whitest Kids U'Know marathon or something cuz I must have watched about 7-8 different episodes in a row. I gotta say this show grew on me like a dirty warped fungus.
I come from the school of Monty Python and Kids in the Hall so I know good sketch comedy when I see it. I grew up on shows like Mr. Show and UCB which are 2 of the best sketch comedies let alone comedies in general. While The Whitest Kids U'Know isn't as well put together as those other shows a lot of the jokes are great and the overall portrayal of woman as being as crazed bitches is like a breath of fresh air given all the PC network and Disney shows out there preaching comedy equity. Not to say this show is perfect but its refreshing to see a new sketch comedy out there.
By the way SNL hasn't been funny since 1995 or really closer to 1993 after Mike Myers and Adam Sandler left. So if your going to base your opinions of any sort of comedy off SNL in the last 10 years please do yourself a favor and crawl out from under the rock you've been under all this time.
